Intraspecific trait variation of woody species reduced in a savanna community, southwest China
Plants deploy various ecological strategies in response to environmental heterogeneity. In many forest ecosystems, plants have been reported to have notable inter- and intra-specific trait variation, as well as clear phylogenetic signals, indicating that

Individualistic responses of forest herb traits to environmental change [PDF]
Intraspecific trait variation (ITV; i.e. variability in mean and/or distribution of plant attribute values within species) can occur in response to multiple drivers.

Impacts of allopolyploidization and structural variation on intraspecific diversification in Brassica rapa [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundDespite the prevalence and recurrence of polyploidization in the speciation of flowering plants, its impacts on crop intraspecific genome diversification are largely unknown.Brassica rapais a mesopolyploid species that is domesticated into many subspecies with distinctive morphotypes.ResultsHerein, we report the consequences of the ...

Anthropogenic change decouples a freshwater predator’s density feedback
Intraspecific interactions within predator populations can affect predator–prey dynamics and community structure, highlighting the need to better understand how these interactions respond to anthropogenic change. To this end, we used a half-century (1969–

Intraspecific Variation in the Rates of Mutations Causing Structural Variation in Daphnia magna [PDF]
Abstract Mutations that cause structural variation are important sources of genetic variation upon which other evolutionary forces can act, however, they are difficult to observe and therefore few direct estimates of their rate and spectrum are available.

Time- and depth-wise trophic niche shifts in Antarctic benthos [PDF]
Climate change is expected to affect resource-consumer interactions underlying stability in polar food webs. Polar benthic organisms have adapted to the marked seasonality characterising their habitats by concentrating foraging and reproductive activity ...

Aegilops comosa Smith in Sibthorp et Smith, 1806 is diploid grass with MM genome constitution occurring mainly in Greece. Two morphologically distinct subspecies – Ae. c. comosa Chennaveeraiah, 1960 and Ae. c. heldreichii (Holzmann ex Boissier) Eig, 1929 are discriminated within Ae.

Variation in wing morphology is related to breeding environment in a high‐elevation specialist bird
The morphology of bird wings is subject to a variety of selective pressures, including migration, predation, habitat structure and sexual selection.
